Rollyo has amazing possibilities for schools and libraries, IF the website can speed up. The concept of creating your own search tool is genius. The process took much longer simply due to the loading speed. Based on the comments I read from other classmates, they too shared the frustration of Rollyo's extreme pokiness.
I decided to continue using the topic of genealogy to complete the Rollyo task, and for the upcoming lesson plan assignment. Copying and pasting websites into Rollyo to create my Rollyo wasn't difficult. However, I was unsure how high the authority should be for each website. Multiple graduate classes have emphasized the importance of website accuracy, authority, objectivity, currency, and coverage.

It seems like the complaint with Rollyo is pretty consistent - it takes tooooo long to run effectively. It doesn't seem like a site with such a strong premise or recognition would have the difficulty it was having for us. Perhaps it is a transitional issue as they work on upgrades. I can only hope so.
I linked you on my blog today to see if we can get some Technorati ratings to go up. I think the more other blogs link you, the higher your authority rating. When you register and claim your blog it will start to track that. Let's see if we can influence our ratings by linking each other!
